1.Yanni's grandiose keyboard style is both accessible and exciting, two elements that have led to his success in the realm of adult alternative radio.In addition to his original television, commercial, and film scores, Yanni's music has been used extensively on programs like Wide World of Sports and coverage of the Olympic games.Born in Kalamata, Greece, Yanni arrived in the U.University of Minnesota before diving headfirst into music.Use of this site is subject to express terms of use, which prohibit commercial use of this site.By continuing past this page, you agree to abide by these terms.URL for paid search terms.Sign in to get personalized recommendations.Minutes() * 60 + newCurrentTime.Hours() * 3600 + currentTime.Minutes() * 60 + currentTime.Ships from and sold by Amazon.Want it delivered Wednesday, January 2?Discover Box Sets and Essentials for your holiday gifts.Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?Here's the scoop on this disc: it is a fine and satisfying survey of the years that Yanni spent while under contract to a major record conglomerate, BMG.For a Yanni newcomer, this is a good introductory sampler of a major and worthwhile New Age artist.Just realize this: Yanni had nothing to do with this compilation.Nor has he had any involvement with any of the additional five samplers the company has rushed to market since Yanni jumped to another label in 1997.Buy Greek books, music, food, art.Great selection, great prices.Instant Ringtones in 30 Seconds.Why not be the first to suggest a search for which it should appear?The easiest way to shoot video reviews.The compilation albums put together from Yanni's previous releases must be outnumbering the albums Yanni himself assembled by now!"Aria", "The Mermaid", "Looking Glass","Santorini", "The Rain Must Fall", and "Marching Season" are essential Yanni.And why did they include "The End of August" and leave off the wonderful "Felitsa"?Both songs have a similar feel, but "Felitsa" is far better."In the Mirror" and "Face In the Photograph" are nice pieces, but definitely not among Yanni's best.For those new to Yanni's music, this is a great starter package.So, as most of the compilation albums have been, this one is a tease.It's a really good album, but beware that this is not a true representation of all of Yanni's music to date.And also be aware that Yanni had nothing to do with the selection of pieces included.What a spectrum of emotion this person evokes!And it is emotion, mature emotion, which will draw a listener to him.Yanni will touch your heart and sweep you with images from the ethereal to the tempestuous.Excellant for those especially just getting into his music.Was this review helpful to you?It arrived with the jewel case cracked, but that doesn't matter.Yanni provides inventive melodies and positive vibrations of many kinds.Yanni is a good piano player.He plays his piano and has a lot of keyboards in his room.Published on April 23, 2004 by Carol L.OFF THA CHAIN
